Blood sugar and gym

[Miss90]

I've recently gone back to the gym and its playing havoc with my blood sugar!!!! The last 5 times I've been my sugars have risen considerably after 40 minutes of working out (cardio and weights) and it never ever used to do this!!!!!! Today my blood sugar was 7.1 upon waking up, did my usual dose of levamir, ate my normal breakfast which is always fine (2 slices wholemeal toast and peanut butter) and reduced my insulin by 1 unit as I knew I would be working out. An hour after the gym my blood is 24!!!!!!!!!! Why is this happening every single time!?

Look at the website runsweet.com that's a great website for exercising and managing glucose levels. I'm afraid I can't offer any other advice as I don't suffer with that issue-mine rise as high as 12 after a heavy weight training session but that's it really! Good luck
